The turtle, nicknamed Solstice, was found hypothermic and injured in Washington, in December 2014. The turtle was taken to the Oregon Coast Aquarium where she was treated for her injuries and initial rehabilitation.

A Coast Guard Air Station Sacramento, California, HC-130 air crew transported the turtle with a representative of the Oregon Coast Aquarium to SeaWorld Rescue, where the turtle will continue her rehabilitation for eventual release to the wild once she is fully recovered.
